Pomo Valley Trek

Into the Mist of the Mishmi Hills

In the farthest folds of Arunachal Pradesh lies a trail less spoken of, the Pomo Valley Trek through the mystical Mishmi Hills. This journey is not just about reaching a destination, but about immersing yourself in landscapes where silence speaks, rivers sing, and time slows to a thoughtful pace. Beginning in the tea-scented air of Assam and rising into cloud-laced mountain passes, the trail winds through dense forests, windswept grasslands, and alpine meadows teeming with waterfalls and wildlife. Along the way, you meet the Mishmi people who are the keepers of stories, traditions, and a way of life untouched by the rush of the outside world.

Each day reveals a new facet of this remote frontier. From rafting wild rivers and trekking to the hidden heart of Pomo Valley, to sitting down for salt-butter broth in a local home, this experience bridges adventure and intimacy. Nights are spent in forest camps or quiet villages where stars speak louder than streetlights. And by the time you return, feet a little sore and heart a little full, you’ll find you’ve not only walked through a remote corner of the Eastern Himalayas, you’ve been quietly transformed by it.

  • Drive through the scenic Mayodia Pass, where clouds drift low and moss-covered forests stretch endlessly into the mist.
  • Trek across vast grasslands and whispering maple forests on a trail framed by mountains and morning fog.
  • Raft the untamed Dree River, where cold waters and wild banks offer both adrenaline and quiet surrender.
  • Witness the stunning Zawru and Pomo waterfalls hidden deep within the Mishmi Hills, far from tourist trails.
  • Camp under starry skies in remote forest clearings, with hearty meals and campfire stories to end each day.
  • Spot rare wildlife like the elusive Mishmi Takin grazing in foggy meadows deep within protected alpine habitats.
  • Spend time in Gipulin village, sharing tea and meals with the Mishmi community and learning their timeless traditions.
  • Travel from Assam’s tea-scented plains into one of India’s most remote and breathtaking Himalayan valleys.
  • Experience the soulful pace of mountain life where each bend reveals a story carved in stone, water, or silence.
  • Return with memories not just of landscapes, but of warm encounters, cultural depth, and unfiltered wilderness.
